FO: Cabled Scarf (FO=”Finished Object”)
I usually try to keep some kind of a “brainless” knitting project in the car for those times when I’m waiting for someone or stuck at a train stop. Since January, that project has been a cabled scarf from a book entitled “The Knitting Man(ual),” but I’ve been getting sick of it so decided to […]

Despite a few problems, I did manage to finish BrooklynTweed’s pattern for Habitat last night! It’s a great pattern and if you don’t know Jared’s work - check it out.

I’m not one of those people who wins things all the time. You know, the people who put their names into contests at grocery stores and shopping malls and always seem to be winning TVs and DVDs. That isn’t not me - I do occasionally put my name in those kinds of things, but never […]

I don’t know much about the few of you that actually read this blog (other than the couple who comment on a regular basis and have blogs of their own - which I follow). I think, however, that those of you who may consider attending a fiber festival tend to live too far away to […]

Isn’t the Internet a Funny Thing?
I have two friends who live half a country away from me. I think I’ve met one of them in person once, and that was several years ago. Other than that, our entire relationship is online. We read each others’ blogs; we communicate occasionally via e-mail. We’ve even talked on the phone a couple of […]
